Salzburg vs Dinamo Zagreb Match Preview

Salzburg hosts Dinamo Zagreb on the third matchday of the UEFA Champions League, group 5.

The hosts are coming from a 1-1 home draw in the match they played against LASK for the Austrian Bundesliga, so they have registered three consecutive draws with the same score. One of them is a real success since it was in London against Chelsea but in the domestic league, two consecutive winless games are something unusual for them. Undoubtedly, the Austrians are nothing like the supersonic team of the previous years, but in European competitions, they do not have that naivety that characterized them thus they have already two points against the favorites of the group. Tonight, against the Croatian team they will be asked to be creative, which was not necessary against Chelsea and Milan.

Dinamo Zagreb, on the other hand, beat Chelsea at home in their opening game and now has realistic hopes of qualifying. In the domestic league, they have ten wins and one draw which has already given them an eleven-point lead over the second team in the standings. Orsic is on fire scoring continuously and dishing out plenty of assists and is expected to cause many problems on the counter-attack against Salzburg.

Taking into account all the above, I expect the home team to be cautious without taking reckless risks, but the Croatians are dangerous in open space and will hardly lose. I will bet 3 points on double chance X2 for Dinamo Zagreb at 2.22 odds.
